...erson’s right and left hands have the same overall structure but cannot be superimposed on each other), it does not inhibit COX enzymes. The result was, finally, encouraging -- r-flurbiprofen inhibited AB42 production both in cells and in the brains of mice. As it happened, the biotech firm Myriad Genetics wa...

Structure of TB Enzyme Points the Way to New Drugs: Study

...ers and colleagues decided to examine the chemical structure of the PknG molecule and the compound that inhibits it in atomic resolution, using a technique called X-ray crystallography. They found that the compound acted on a segment of the protein that is unique to PknG -- not shared by any of the other 491...

Beijing Says Food Safe for Olympic Athletes, Tourists
